How Important Is It to Exercise After Pregnancy?You'll need time to relax and recover after giving birth, and with everything else going on exercise might not seem like a priority. However, not only will exercise raise your energy levels, essential for the fun yet gruelling years to come, but it can help to combat conditions such as post-natal depression. Our selection of Belly Bandit activewear is designed to make post-natal training as stress-free, safe and comfortable as possible. When Should I Start Exercising Again?It's generally advisable to wait a couple of weeks after delivery to begin exercising again, as there's a higher-than-usual risk of injury due to your relaxed postpartum ligament. At this point it's best to start with 20 to 30 minutes of activity a few times a week, and to focus on pelvic floor exercises which will help your perineum and vagina heal more quickly. Every woman is different, and it's advisable to wait until after your postnatal check before resuming workouts. What Exercises Should I Do Post Pregnancy?Certain exercises are particularly suitable for new mums. A few of these are listed below:
Although they are not strictly exercises, don't dismiss the importance of both breast-feeding and sleep! Breastfeeding helps to shrink the uterus back down to pre-pregnancy size, as well as burning calories. A lack of sleep will upset your metabolism, making it even harder to lose the baby weight. Who Are Belly Bandit?Belly Bandit was founded in 2008 by three sisters. From the beginning they were out to answer an important question: "the moment a woman learns she is expecting, she starts to nurture her baby to be. But who's there to nurture the mother?" Belly Bandit produces a collection of maternity and post-pregnancy wear created to offer support for the over-stressed muscles, joints and minds of women everywhere!
